For more than seven decades, SWE has given women engineers a unique place and voice within the engineering industry. Our organization is centered around a passion for our members’ success and continues to evolve with the challenges and opportunities reflected in today’s exciting engineering and technology specialties.
SWE Mission
Empower women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expand the image of the engineering and technology professions as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion.
Our History
The Connecticut Section was chartered in 1954. The Section originally covered all of Connecticut , which is now covered between the Connecticut, Hartford and New England Shoreline Professional Sections.
Our section offers an annual scholarship, the Jean R. Beers Scholarship, and High School Certificate of Achievement Awards to encourage girls and women to pursue careers in engineering and related technical and scientific disciplines. From one of our partnering high schools, “the importance of recognizing future engineers can never be underestimated and the continued support of our students by the SWE is greatly appreciated by our school community and by me personally.”
